Anyone have any tips in doing this? I get through normal maps, levels whatever just fine, but my character tanks way more damage than just being able to avoid it completely, so this feels pretty impossible right now.
I can get past the first boss and then it all goes downhill because I just cant avoid taking damage even tho im at bo risk of dying.
is there anything I can do that I'm not thinking of that would make this doable?
Last league I had a lot of issues doing what you are doing. It was just really really hard. I bought some relics which helped but what really helped most was getting boons that allowed me to see more rooms. When you can see the rooms and their downsides its way more easier to plan your route. I usually avoid gauntlet rooms as the traps can zap your honour by quite a lot. if you get 100% honor res that also helps but its not very easy until you've completed all four sekhemas.
If you play melee, a shield will actually negate the honour damage. So useing something liek resonating shield can be very effective. I run a thorns build and I can easily run all four sekhemes no issues and the resonating shield skill is the key to it.
The more armour/damage mitigation (evasion) you have the better. Make sure your resistance capped and everything. The amount of honor lost comes down to how much damage you take. Once you get the hang of it it’s pretty easy to dodge most mechanics and mobs. Just have to find that rhythm
if u r open to trade, buy relics that boost ur honour resist to 75%, then relics that increase % max honour, % defence, % max life etc.
should make ur run much easier
Either get good relics from trade (honour resistance is king, max honour is great too) or just wait.
Unless it is crucial for you to have those extra points right now, play 2 hours of maps and come back when you're level 78 and one shot everything.
Use ranged.. play very safe. Others have already talked about good relics. You can increase their effectiveness greatly with merchants, both seeing additional rooms ahead and straight % effectiveness of your relics, among other things. Also, getting a few more levels wouldn't hurt to make everything squishier.
Last thing is that maybe the trial of chaos would be easier for your third ascension since it's not about avoiding damage, rather it focuses on increased difficulty.
My tip is do chaos trial instead
Just get to 75 resist and any extra defences and you'll walk through it np.
With proper resistance you can take the "150 physical dmg on room completetipn" and take 0 damage.
Easy peasy overall with a little patience.
If you are playing SSF, farm relics doing easier baryas, then go with all of honor resistance you have.
Practice and dont be afraid to lose, just keep trying. You will get more relics, it will be easier and easier in each try.
I found trials 3+4 benefit from having honour res capped.
On my ssf characters i'll save all extra trial baryas i find through the campaign and run those for extra relics before actually ascending. If you get a relic with increased relic drop rate getting capped should only take an extra run or two, and once capped sekhemas is actually not so bad
Stack as many honor booster/resistance relics as you can and get a shot of espresso. You can do it!!!
Just a man and his crossbow. Mercenary is duelist persona tuned up to 11 and I love it.
If only there were any clues. Could be anyone!
Oh hell ywah!
